Impairment in declarative memory is the most common cognitive complaint in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and other localization-related epilepsies (Oyegbile et al., 2004, Hoppe et al., 2007, Helmstaedter and Witt, 2012). Three types of memory deficits associated with epilepsy have been described: transient epileptic amnesia, accelerated long-term forgetting and remote memory loss (Butler and Zeman, 2008, Zeman et al., 2012). In particular, accelerated long-term forgetting - defined as a difficulty in retaining memories that were initially able to be acquired - has been recently reported to be more prevalent than previously recognized (Witt et al., 2012).
